“The schedule starts to get a little tougher now; Waldron, Portland St. Pats and Lawrence are all really good teams. So tonight we really wanted to establish our offense and defense and accomplish our goals,” said St. Philip head coach Dave Downey. “I think this was the best game we’ve played all season.”

Brayden Darr got things started for St. Philip, answering Webberville’s opening score with a 28-yard touchdown run. Nick Hurst followed with touchdown runs of 4 and 53 yards; Darr had a 32-yard interception return and then added a 4-yard touchdown run to put St. Philip up 36-6 at the end of the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Darr had an 18-yard touchdown run, followed by an 8-yard touchdown run from Hust to put the Tigers up 50-6.

Hurst found paydirt on a 50-yard run, while Zach Spiegla also scored from 50-yards out. Spiegla capped the scoring with a 20-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.

Darr finished the contest with 14 carries for 189 yards and three rushing touchdowns, along with two interceptions. Hurst had 10 carries for 176 yards and four touchdowns, and Spiegla had three carries for 72 yards and two touchdowns.
